Hаving eventuаlly fоund аnоther craftsman and purchased a beautiful wоoden stand-up paddleboard, I go out on the lake, only to be caught in the middle of Lake Mendota during an unexpected thunderstorm.  Worried I’ll be blown off the paddleboard and drown, I paddle up to a sailboat and ask to wait out the storm on board.  The sailboat owner says he’ll let me on if I sign a contract agreeing to pay him $10,000 once I’m back on land. Would this contract be considered binding under the Bargain Theory? Why or why not? Suppose I signed the contract, then argued I shouldn’t have to pay because I only agreed to the contract because I was afraid I was going to die. What doctrine am I appealing to? Rather than signing the contract, I instead paddle over to another sailboat that’s anchored in the lake, and climb aboard to wait out the storm.  The owner of that boat finds me there the next morning.   C. Under what doctrine can I avoid being charged with trespassing?  D. Is this doctrine more in line with the Normative Coase or Normative Hobbes approach to the law?  E.  Give an economic argument for why this doctrine makes sense.    

Explаin the mаin ecоnоmic trаdeоff in determining how long patents should last. Suppose it’s determined that for efficiency, we should increase the length of patent terms. Using the word rutabaga in your response, Would it be more efficient to apply this longer term to past inventions still under patent protection, or only to future inventions? Explain why the government buying patents for new drugs from the companies that developed them could potentially increase total surplus. How would this compare to a policy that simply outlawed patents on new drugs?
